On a tangental subject our lovely neighbours came round last week with lots of pumpkin for obvious reasons.
My instincts told me to make a pumpkin curry but I was talked into making a pumpkin pie, which I have never done before so I had to look up how it was done.
I made the mistake of trusting Nigella Lawson.
The pie was okay a bit too sweet for my taste but I can tone that down next time.
Where she was way off though was the oven temperature. She said 180degrees but instead of a nice orangey gold colour it was sort of chocolate brown (150 would be more like it).
It tasted fine though but next time (and there is still plenty of pumpkin in the freezer) hopefully I will get it right on the nail
